Reflection and Recap: AP Psychology Cognition Unit

Overview

In this part of the lesson, we will focus on reflection and recap to reinforce our understanding of the concepts covered in the Cognition Unit. We will utilize the theme of the film "Memento," which explores memory, cognition, and the complexities of the human mind. Students will engage with thought-provoking questions that encourage critical thinking and application of psychological concepts.
